THIS WILL BE A REGULAR CHARM SWAP AND/OR PARTNER SWAP, PLEASE INDICATE WHAT GROUP YOU WANT TO BE IN OR IF YOU WANT TO BE IN BOTH GROUPS.

The theme for this Chunky Charm Swap is FAVORITE MOVIE/BOOK (i.e. if you like the book Christine by Stephen King, you could use cars for charms; if you like The Wizard of Oz or even the new Oz movie, your charms could be hot air balloons, little dog, witch, basket, etc. I think you all get the idea) and all colors will be allowed.

Please read the guidelines and make sure you can follow them all before signing up.

FOR MY REGULAR SWAP:

Charms are to be MAILED BY June 1, 2013so then can be RECEIVED BY ME no later than June 8, 2013. (This gives you more than TWO WHOLE MONTHS to create these.) No exceptions!

International gals are welcome, just make sure you include enough postage for return of charms.

Guidelines:*Use a Tim Holtz Swivel Clasp (or something similar) for each hanging charm...it can be either size swivel clasp.*You must use a "minimum" of 10 items/strands on each swivel clasp.*Use at least 4 different MOVIE/BOOK related charms (can be metal or glass).*Each hanging charm should be placed on a pretty tag....you must decorate the tag with something along the lines of your theme...no plain tags will be accepted. Tags should be at least the size of the TH tags (at least 3 x 6). Please do not make these any larger as I need it to fit in a Small Flat Rate box. There's a few carts with those tags on them if you don't have the TH die.*Put your MB name on the back.*You must make a total of 4 hanging charms and you will receive 4 hanging charms in return…unless you want more in return (i.e. make 6 get 6 back)*The hanging charms that you make can be the same or all different its your choice. You will receive 4 different charms in return (unless you make more).*These are to be super CHUNKY charms so keep that in mind. No SKINNY charms accepted!*Please limit the amount of buttons and/or plastic type beads used on the charms.*Please make sure you tighten down all connections so I’m not having to fix charms before mailing back.

Shipping guidelines:*All hanging charms must be individually packaged in a ziploc bag for safety in shipping.*Your charms must be POSTMARKED by June 1, 2013, to be RECEIVED by June 8, 2013.*I think that a small flat rate box will be the best method of shipping due to the weight of the charms....not only that but so that they are not damaged during shipping.*Please include $5.60 in cash or Paypal me the $5.60 (no stamps please)...no metered postage or printed postage labels either.

The theme for this Partner Chunky Charm Swap is MY FAVORITE THINGS (ask your partner what her favorites things are and make a charm for that. i.e. if she likes steampunk, then make one steampunk) and all colors will be allowed again. You also need to make a tag to attach the charm to.

If you have not been in a swap with me, please get another MB member to vouch for you—this will help cut down on flakers. I will not let anyone on any flakers list sign up. New people are welcome as long as someone I know vouches for them. This may sound harsh but part of my responsibility as a hostess is to make sure this is a stress free swap and that everyone gets their dangle charm in a timely fashion. I realize that sometimes events do happen that make it necessary for you to drop out—if that happens let me know as soon as possible so I can find an angel to fulfill your commitment.

Please send me your info after you sign up—mb name, real name and e-mail addy. Thanks. You will need to PM your partner for their mailing addy when you are ready to mail.

The chunky charms MUST BE MAILED by June 1, 2013 and RECEIVED by your partner by June 8, 2013! Use delivery confirmation and send # to both your partner and me. Using a small flat rate box or a padded envelope will protect the work you have done. If you are mailing to another country and need to fill out a customs form, please mark that the package is a gift so no fees are incurred. Delivery confirmation may not be available.

Guidelines:

SAME AS FOR REGULAR CHARM SWAPIf you agree with these rules, let the sign-ups begin!

Robin: put me down for both:For the movie: i will do "My Fair Lady": love that movie, and i have some great charms and beads for that oneand on the opposite side, Kaui Medodie gave me this one: "50 Shades of Grey"... so we will see how I can stretch that one..

Robin, you are amazing!!! How did you get this up and running so fast, and with examples too. I am so excited to be doing these again. Please sigh me up for group and partner.XOXOXO and a big smoochie for hostessing this

I will join. I think I'll be doing Ever After. It's a sweet show. I don't think I could do Pride & Prejudice, which is one of my all time favs.

I'll do the partner swap too. I'd like to try to make a steam punk charm. (Ya gotta hook me up here, Robin! ) I haven't tried that yet! Whoever I get could also make me one, since I don't think I have any "official" steam punk stuff! Well, off to go look online. I'm missing a couple of items for my Ever After theme and I have to go see what steam punk is all about!

You'll love Steampunk! It is my fav when I get to pick.

I also wanted to say Congrats on your Mini Album it is just beautiful! Isn't it amazing how many places our Chunky Charms can be used. I think I'm going to have to get that Southwest cartridge. It has some really nice graphics.

Thanks for joining GypsyD. Here's an example of a Steampunk one I did. I used mostly TH stuff:

Robin, I really love that tag. It should go into the Steampunk Hall of Tags, if it is not there already. I am feeling so much better, now that we are doing chunky charms again. My life just wasn't complete without em.

Thanks Melody for your kind words. I think several were going through withdrawal.

I know Jean. I was just gone a few days/weeks and all of a sudden it seems like a ghost town. The boards just aren't what they used to be. I know many have jump ship for that "other" machine. Oh well, I like it here just fine. It's where all my friends hang out.
